Event Markers

Illustration	Name	Description
	Good Surplus	Lowered prices on the indicated good at this location
	Good Demand	Increased prices on the indicated good at this location
	Blockade	This port is being blockaded by a hostile power. Attempting to enter or exit the port will result in being intercepted by the blockading ships. A blockaded port will usually pay good money for necessities such as food.
	New Governor	A new governor is enroute to this port. A new governor neutralizes port relations with the player.
	Pleased Governor	The governor in this region is pleased with you. A happy governor is more likely to give you missions and will make it easy to enter and exit his city even if you are wanted by the state.
	Angry Governor	Your actions have angered the governor of this port. An angry governor will be more likely to have warships patrolling the waters outside of his port, and may not provide the typical services, even if you are friendly with his empire.
	Pirates	This region is plagued by pirates. Ships that travel through here risk being intercepted.
	Pirate Hunters	This region is the last known locale of certain pirate hunters. Safe enough for legitimate traders to pass through, but pirates should take care.
	Warship Patrol	This region is being patrolled by warships; most likely due to repeated pirate incursions. Pirates may want to look elsewhere for easy prey.
	Treasure Galleon	A lone treasure galleon is rumored to have been seen in this region. Treasure galleons are especially powerful galleons carrying the riches of the new world back to Spain. Treasure galleons will usually sail in a convoy but occasionally a lone straggler or ship sailing to a rendezvous may be spotted.
	Invasion	A hostile invasion is currently underway in this region. Defeating the invasion would probably greatly please the governor of this region (and infuriate the empire conducting the invasion).
	Immigrants	A major shipload of immigrants from Europe are scheduled to arrive at this port soon. Immigrants increase the prosperity of a port. Immigrant ships are also prime sources of skilled new labor (potential specialist crew).
	Natives	There is native unrest in this region, and the port is likely to be attacked by natives soon. Defeating the natives would probably greatly please the empire owning the region.
	Troops	A major shipload of new troops is expected in this region in the near future. This will boost the garrison of the region and may be the precursor of an invasion of a neighboring province.
	Squadron of Warships	A squadron of warships have been reported in this region. This will make the region dangerous for pirates, and may be the precursor of an offensive campaign if war is underway.
	Sacked	This region has been plundered as a result of invasion, raids, or native attacks. The availability of goods and pricers is likely to be more limited than in ordinary situations.
